Dollfie Dream Airi ~ Infernal Tempter ~ Photo Shoot

It's been a few days since Airi arrived at my residence, and I have to admit that I have grown to like her more and more as each day gone by. So it's natural that I put together a photo shoot for her with a proper background~ I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do :)

Natsuki Takamizawa’s end, Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な

I am just going to say it to get it off my chest, Natsuki Takamizawa (鷹見沢 菜月) deserves more attention than she is getting! Ok, while I don't think Natsuki is in the same league as Feena in terms of elegance and beauty, and she may just be a plain Jane next door neighborhood girl; but she is quite cute in her own rights, I don't understand why there hasn't been a single figure made of her yet.

Estel Freesia’s end, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な

Alright, so I finally made it to the new cast on the PS2 port version Estel Freesia. What can I say about her? Estel is quite a tsundere, more than Natsuki (especially after I started her Moonlight Cradle arc) and definitely a tough nut to crack! I am going to try a slightly different approach and compact her story a bit more, Feena's story was way too long and I probably had way too much details in the last writeup.

Feena’s normal end,Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な

It's been almost two weeks since I started this Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel marathon run project which includes the original Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel (2005) August soft, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Brighter than dawning blue- (2009) Aria soft and Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Moonlight Cradle- (2009) August soft, it's a massive undertaking that I have never attempted before. But after over a week worth of effort, I am finally getting close to the midway point. This project really started when I redecorated my room with three Feena fam Earthlight Dakimakuras and one bath towel, then all of a sudden I wondered about how much do I really know about her.

Dollfie Dream DD Saber Lily ~ Elegant Lady ~

Back in December 2010, soon after Lily arrived, I had her put on one of the maid dress I acquired from Le chat de neige in the Trinity of Dollfie Dream Saber Maid blog post, a highly sought after Dollfie Dream fashion label in Yahoo Japan Auction

Dollfie Dream DD Saber Lily X Kiriha Kuze ~ Maid Version ~

It was only a matter of time before I put two of my most favorite Dollfie Dream daughters DD Saber Lily セイバー・リリィ and DD Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 together for a full photo shoot, the pictures from the New Year Greeting post were merely a preview of what was probably a fact that was waiting to happen; I wouldn't put it past some of you who regularly visit my blog that this was already in the work ^^; What kind of photo shoot would I put together for my most favorite daughters the more mature and sexy Lily and together? Well, I actually tried to throw in a mixture of themes this time, involving the sexy, sisterly love and some light yuri perhaps =3.

Dollfie Dream Kiriha X Sasara with School Swimsuit Maid & He is My Master Maid set

It's been another intense camera action day as I have a lot on my agenda. The first order of business is to have two of my lovely daughters to try out the two of the most adorable maid dress set from Kyoto 7, Sasara School Swimsuit Maid and He is My Master Maid Dress set. There is no argument for who should wear the School Swimsuit Maid, but there was room for debate for the He is My Master Dress set, I finally decided to have Kiriha model for us, why Kiriha? Because she is my most pampered daughter! There will be some hints of yuri action here and there in this photo session, as I finally come to term to fulfill the promise I made way back to take some yuri photos for my daughters XD. Please enjoy~

Dollfie Dream Kiriha at AnimeExpo 2010 in Los Angeles

I have always heard about how Anime Expo is one of the largest anime convention in North America but I have never once thought about going there myself in previous years. However, the convergence of various factors this year including the chance of meeting some of the friends I have made online at figure.fm, a trip to Volks USA and meeting Danny in person were enough to persuade me to make this journey. So, for this past weekend, I have picked my most pampered Dollfie Dream, DD娃娃 Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 to accompany me to Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles!

Dollfie Dream Asuka, Rin and Saber Photo Session

Been quiet for the past couple of days, but I finally started to feel better for the past day so I decided to catch this chance to go out with my Dollfie Daughters again. The main objective this time was to correct a few oversights I had in the last outing so I had to take DD Asuka アスカ and DD Rin 遠坂 凛 out again, but that would be a tad too dry just to keep taking photos of those two so I decided to take DD Saber out with me as well.

Dollfie Dream Daughter Erika’s Arrival and The August Four Photo Shoot

For the past month or so, I have been secretly working a large scale Dollfie Dream photo shoot to celebrate the arrival of my fifteenth Dollfie Dream daughter Erika and fourteenth daughter Estel (since Estel never did get a proper photo shoot of her own, partly because I knew I had Erika on the way

Dollfie Dream Family Photo + DD Gathering Update + OTACOOL

I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the "surprise element" deadline >.>;;; Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party...

A few days ago, I welcomed my Sixteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter DD娃娃 人偶 Matou Sakura to my family; and I had Saber, Rin and Ecchi Lion came out to gave Sakura a warm welcome; but that was not all that I had in mind! The number sixteenth daughter also mark the completion of a Platoon!! Since such a significant milestone cannot be ignored or overlooked.... so I have decided to summon all of my daughters together for a full family portrait (it's been a while since I did the last family photo)! This special event is also know as Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering, DDDGGG for short!

Trinity of Dollfie Dream Saber Maid Version

For the very first time, the 3 big heads 三巨頭 DD Saber セイバー, DD Saber Lily セイバー・リリィ and DD Saber Alter of the Fate/stay Night world have gathered together for this special photo shoot!!

Japan Trip Report Arrival and Day 1

How I managed to tour Japan in 3 Days and 4 Nights while hitting all the hot spots like Odaiba Gundam, Evangelion 2.0 You can (not) advance, Kamen Rider Decade Movie - All Riders vs. Dai Shocker with shopping in Akihabara! My assistant Pretty Fräulein Asuka-chan will guide you through all that.

Dollfie Dream Saber X Buckingham Palace

How long has it been since I acquired the cloak for Saber? Hmm ever since Airi arrived? Yeah, I been wanting to do a Saber solo shoot out for that long, but laziness and procrastination delayed it for this long! Errr, not really, I was busy with other stuff and had the lighting setup packed away and didn't pull them back out until just recently. Anyway, I been wanting to do this shoot out with Saber standing in front of the Buckingham Palace and I have finally done it! I think I managed to pack a few pretty good shots in there, hopefully you would enjoy them as much as I did :D

ToHeart 2 PC version Kusugawa Sasara Part 1

Ever since the announcement of Dollfie Dream Sasara 久寿川 ささら by Volks a few days ago, I have assigned utmost priority to learn about Sasara's story. It's funny that I have been putting it off for more than a year, and I know I have been wanting to do it but the announcement of DD Sasara gave me the final nudge in the back I needed to start another visual novel marathon. I suppose this is my first Leaf game as well.

Some of you who have been following my blog would know that I have just traveled to Japan recently for a super condensed sight seeing and shopping trip. I have a set of mission objectives that I wanted to accomplish, and I have managed to finish most of them by Saturday night Japan time. But how can it be? There are only 3 real days to work with, I have to be back in the airport before noon on Sunday. As I reveal the details of my complete walk-through of my super condensed Japan trip, it will become more obvious!

See the Odaiba Gundam

Watch the Kamen Rider movie

Watch the Evangelion 2.0 movie You can (not) advance

Shopping in Akihabara

Shopping for Dollfie Clothes and appropriate size Rider belts

Go to a maid cafe

I am fairly proud to say that I have accomplished every one of the above objectives even though this trip was so short. For starter, I am going to cover my loots during this trip and I will expand onto some of the finer details of my experience of my super condensed, super fast pace first trip to Japan. Without further ado, let me get started. First is the grand scale loots!

Obviously, you can’t really see anything like this, so let me break them down into their categories.

Most of the hensei henshin belts were bought from a 2nd hand store where they sell them as open boxes so I know exactly which belt I was getting. The faiz belt was particularly expensive and they only had one. I have to think a lot before I decided to buy some thing because I wasn’t sure how to fit them all in the luggage. The Rin wallscroll didn’t fit but I managed to bring it home without damage. A couple of those 2nd hand store had DD too, the asuka was not expensive but the Estel was considerably more.

The trip was great, short but to the point and very effective. It was amazing how much walking I did during the past couple of days. I had to walk 30 minutes to watch the Kamen Rider movie, the Shinkenger movie had 3D effect so it was really cool as well.

Hehe, this certainly won’t be the last trip that’s for sure! I had a great time. I used my mostly broken Japanese and was able to navigate through without too much trouble. I wish I had more time to had proper meal since I only really had 2 proper dinners out of the 4 nights that I stayed. I really wanted to have a curry don, but alas no time since I was traveling with other friends.

Yeah, I was really thrilled to be able to get most of what I wanted to get. Picked up the aprons so I can use them Hadaka style =3 The dolpa 21 limited dress was the pleasant surprise because it’s a really cute dress.

I haven’t done an accurate account of the total sum I spent over this trip, probably don’t want to anyway!

Well, considering this was my first Japan trip, you can read the trip report of my Arrival and Day 1 now. This trip was more for the historical value, to be able to see the Odaiba Gundam with my very own eyes, to watch the ground breaking of 26 Riders gathering in the movie theater, to shop for dollfie clothes for my daughters, etc. I managed to complete all of the mission objectives I set out to do in 3 days. It was condensed, but an experience I won’t soon forget! It was definitely a worthy experience for me!

To me, a man’s worthiness is based on how much he can keep his words. And I am a man of my word, the 1:1 Rin Wallscroll was my best treasure out of this whole trip, well the Asuka microfiber towel came pretty close too the the various Feena merchandises.
